Walking the GR7 in Andalucia - Grand Format

Sierra Nevada National Park and many natural parks ; coast, mountains, forests, olive groves and semi-desert landscapes ; Moorish architecture and traditional "white villages". Away from the bustling coastal resorts, Andalucía's interior is home to striking limestone mountains, cork and oak forests, olive and almond groves and semi-desert plains. The Andalucían section of the GR7 long-distance route traverses the region from west to east and showcases its beautiful scenery, vibrant culture and rich history.
There are excellent chances of spotting wildlife on the more remote sections, though almost every day finishes in a town or village where you can find accommodation, facilities and restaurants serving delicious local produce. This guide describes both northern and southem variants, with the total distance coming in at 738km or 770km depending on which variant is chosen (though suggestions for shorter itineraries are also included).
Youll find all the information you need to plan and walk the route, as well as notes about the region's history, culture, plants and wildlife. Suited to experienced walkers with good fitness ; best walking in spring and autumn ; the full route takes over a month to complete but can easily be broken into shorter sections.
